What's your read on $SPX? Hanging Man?
Yes hanging man for SPX, it could be a sign of final exhaustion. Obviously, we need to wait for the next month's candle to confirm. Long term trend baby

FWIW, Bulkowski shows Hanging Man as not a sign of exhaustion or a top.

It serves as a warning for me

The long term trend is still up, countertrend is hard like Cobra says

What are your thoughts on chart below, essessme?
I mean no disrespect, especially since you're my only fan, but you only just noticed that?

Ha, no disrespect at all. I thought it was obvious....just trying to politely argue that a close at current levels isn't the end for bears or anything. Great thing about Cobra's forum, we can respond to other charts without being rude or it taken the wrong way. I took from his comments a close here is very bad for bears....just pointing out...in my opinion...based on that chart I disagree. That's all.
And don't kid yourself stlwater, you are amassing a nice fan club...I'm just your biggest cheerleader

Clark - yes over the medium term I will be on the lookout for a rapid rise to 1750ish after a
sell in May pullback - April marks the six month of consecutive higher closes for the spx the second longest streak since the bottom behind only the seven month launch out of the bottom.
Essemee is that based on this:

and/or do you have other reasons to look to that level (1750)?

NYSE A/D rises relentlessly to new hi after new hi today, even as SPX and IWM and QQQ dip.

Do you think without the fed bots actually human buyers would be looking at this level, this season, this pattern, and hitting buy right now on every little weakness? I don't. This is disguising. Really is. I don't care what side of the trade you're on, this is going to end badly when it finally does.

Essemee is that based on this:

No - its based on a pitchfork and a sense that this area 1600+ maybe littered with top picking stops and what kind of a squeeze it could produce

In 1995 Greenspan warned of " Irrational Exuberance" and the humans kept that going another 5 years., But I do see what you mean.

Irrational exuberance is one thing, at least it's still based on market forces. This is manipulation.. basically saying up is down and down is up.. the rules are all wrong. When it blows up, they will blame capitalism.

I think it's the plan... That's the scary part.
